Getting Started with the SPT 1700
To set up for network communications:
1. Ensure there is a DHCP server accessible to the CRD1700-4000E on the subnet
to which it will be attached.
2. Connect one end of a standard 10 Base-T network cable to the middle connector
on the back of the CRD1700-4000E. Connect the other end of the cable to a hub
which is connected to your subnet.
3. Power-up the unit; the CRD1700-4000E performs its power-up sequence, then
attempts to collect all network parameters from the local DHCP server.
If configuration of the unit from the local DHCP server fails, all LEDs flash red. The unit
becomes unresponsive until power is removed, the unit is connected to a network with a
DHCP server, and power is restored.
Note:
Before communication between the SPT 1700 terminal and the host
computer can take place, the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop
Software must be installed and running on the host computer.
VCD 1700 Series Vehicle Cradle
The SPT 1700 provides a serial port at the bottom of the terminal. When you insert a
terminal into a VCD 1700 cradle, it connects to the cradle’s serial port. The terminal can
then use the cradle’s serial port to communicate with an external device.
To connect the cradle:
1. Plug a 9-pin serial cable into the serial port located next to the power port at the
bottom of the cradle. Note that some devices may require the serial cable to be a
null modem cable.
